I love invitation cards. It’s all about the anticipation of fun and joy. And that anticipation is already joyful, isn’t it? But aside from weddings and the occasional party there are not that many occasions for gown ups to make formal invites. That’s why i like to take the full advantage of kids’ birthdays to make our very own DIY cards. Some of you might remember that we had had some fun two years ago with invitation cards using hair clips. This year we made invites for a costume party and were inspired by this lego project. We twisted things a bit, used playmobils® instead. And here are the resulting invites!

– Have your child select his/her favourite playmo
– Take many pics and use Gimp(free) or another software to prepare for print (resize, crop, modify, etc)
– Print them on your home printer or have them printed by a professional. I used Moo‘s services. And since you can print as many as 100 images for every 100 minicards, i only printed the invites i needed (4 playmobils x 4 guests) and had the rest printed with cute patterns from this book/CD that are sure to come in handy some other time…
– Make a hole and tie a knot with some cute ribbon or rope. Write the information (time, adress, etc) by hand on the verso. You’re done!

I’d love to hear about your own invitation card projects. don’t hesitate to use the comment section!
I’ll be back very soon with a home decoration sewing project. See you soon!
